RE: Went down UPDATE
Glad to hear you are OK.
I just bought a '08 Anniv Ultra, waiting for delivery and even longer for snow to melt.
Hoping I don't need to find out how having ABS is, but having it will be nice I think.

Here's a good ABS video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VaDHxX3kVM
Again, Glad to hear your OK. Why doesn't the dealer just total the bike and get youa new one, sounds like a lot of damage. Just my .02

When you locked up the front, what was your mph you were going?

Glad to hear that YOU are ok, the bike can be fixed/replace - but you can't be.
With a bent frame & forks you will be lucky if they don't total it. I hit a lady that pulled out in front of me andthe 'only' real damage was to the front end, fender, engine guard, foot board, and frame. They totalled out my bike, it was 1.5 years old with 5K miles on it. Definately not new with 350. I was kind of happy they totalled it as I was back on a new bike in about 5 weeks whereas the repairs would have taken a couple months and then it may not have been as good as new. Turned out good for me
Again, glad you are ok
